Took the train from Verona to Lucca ... was supposed to be 4 hours but ended up being 5 as we missed one connection (by 20 seconds ... saw it pull away from the station!). Had a good dinner the night of our arrival and wandered about a bit. Today we rented bikes from the hotel and biked around town. Climbed the Guinigi Tower, descended under the Cathedral (which had layers all the way back to Roman times - see photo) and raised a glass of Brunello. Tomorrow we are off to a castle-resort about 12 km from Siena (situated in 400 hectares of Chianti vineyards!) for two days ... Lucca is worth the visit.
